COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTIONThe two eleven mark, based on the medieval symbol for steel, appears only on Steel Reserve(R) High Gravity lager. We use nearly twice the ingredients of many normal lagers & brew for over twice as long as many quality beers.

Aroma isnít so bad - pretty grainy; has some character. Taste is where everything falls apart - dirty, boozy, vile, disgusting. Puke-worthy palate. Took one sip and handed it off to someone else. Blecch. Avoid like the plague. One of the ten worst drinks Iíve ever had.

Aroma is pretty harsh at the first. But after it mellows out a bit, itís okay. Itís slightly sweet, slightly grainy. I smell something that I think might be hops, Iím not real sure. Iím not super impressed by the smell.

Taste is pretty smooth. Itís sweetish. I taste some apple, seems like some caramel. I canít decide on my rating for taste.

Mouthfeel is not great at the start, but as it mellows out, itís pretty smooth. Itís not very crisp. I donít know how drinkable this is, it is pretty heavy.

Overall, itís okay. I like it. Iím not crazy about it. I had it from a 24oz can, poured into a pint glass. The first half wasnít great, the second half, that Iím basing the review on, is better. I donít know if my palate is adjusting to it, or what the dealio is. If you havenít had it, itís worth a try. Itís pretty good.

OHH BOY LET ME TELL YOU STEELE RESERVE A BEAST TO DRINK. IT ALWAYS GET ME IN TROUBLE. ITS PORBLY THE OKAY ONE MALT LIUQUORE TO DRINK. THE WORST TIME I DRUNK IT WE WERE AT MY CUSINS HOUSE THE PLAN WAS WE TO JUST HANG OUT AND RELAX WITH A STAR TRECK MAREATHON AND HAVE A CUPEL BEERS. SO I BROUT OVER JUST FOUR PLINYS. WELL OF COURSE MY DUMAS CUSIN DRANK MOST OF ITS AND I WAS TRYING NOT TOO BE ANGERY. I STARTED TO RADE HIS FRIGE AND I ATE ALL HIS LEFTOVER MACDONALDS AND MACK AND CHEESE AND I WAS GOING TO DRINK ALL HIS STEELE RESERVE. PROBLY FOUR HOURS LATER. WHEN CAPTAI. KIRK WAS KISSING THE BLACK GIRL WE GOT REALLY REAL DRUNK ON THIS BEERS. I NOW THAT I WENT TO MY TRUCK TO GET MY RITEFUL PROPERTY AMERICAN FIRE ARMS. I ASCIDENTEALY DROVE MY TRUCK IN TO HIS SIDE OF HOUSE THN REVERSED INTO A DITCH BY THE TRAIN TRACKS. LET ME TELL YOU MY TRUCK ALMOST GOT HIT BY A TRAIN BUT WE RAMMED IT OUT WITH HIS EXPLORER. LET ME TELL YOU DONT LOOK A GIFT HORSE IN HIS MOUTH. I CAMMED DOWN BECAUSE HE HAD HELPED ME SAVE MY TRUCK. BUT SECOND OF ALL AFTER WE DRUNK THE NEXT CASE OF STEELES I BLACKED OUT AND MUST HAVE FOUT HIM. I WOKE UP IN HIS DITCH WHERE THE TIRE TRACKES ARE. I FELT TO HUNGOVER SO I DRUNK ANOTHER CAN OF STEELE RESERVE AND ITS NOT TO GOOD.

Upon popping the can and taking a whiff, you just might throw up. Chances of vomiting will increase dramatically with imbibement. Texture is not bad and doesnít leave bitterness like many IPAs will but that is the ONLY advantage. I drank this stuff for years and while I have saved a lot of money... I also gained about 40 lbs. This dirty, filthy son of the devil will get you plenty wasted for pretty cheap but only the most desperate, bravest people will choose this over a good IPA.

From 40oz. Bottle in a paper bag on a Wednesday afternoon. Nice and cold. Corn syrup, old grain and water. Mild beer-like taste even. Sweet. Drinks well enough for the price. Drinks really well for the alcohol content. Get buzzin quick on the cheap. Who needs a job??
